it's an ibook g3 700 with 384mb sdram. i just installed a new 256 ram chip to see if that was the cause of the kernel panic. obviously not, but strangely, without the ram installed it didn't have any kernel panics. though that might be due to it being slow enough to the point where we never used it as much as before, but food for thought.

it happens at random times. sometimes when doing completely normal things, like browsing in firefox, other times it happens when the screen saver is running. there seems to be no discernable source. it doesn't happen when i do one specific thing, let's say.

it's on the desk 90% of the time. because you mentioned the graphics card, plus the fact that it's had a kernel panic six times this evening while it's been running the screen saver, i go to turn it off and when it runs the preview in the little window, it has more kernel panics.
